This event was held to celebrate the 40th anniversary of North Somerset Coaches. Based in Nailsea, a great day of running through the lovely Somerset countryside was had. As always, big thanks to all who made it possible.
Nailsea provided the centre of operations for the North Somerset Coaches 40th birthday bash with two circular routes being operated plus excursions to Yatton(!) and running to Clevedon.  One of the attractions was Southern National liveried Bristol VR AFJ 766T.
